I am a busy working mom with 2 hungry boys (3 if you count my husband) but no amount of time is too much to spend planning and preparing a nice meal for my family. Here are some of my thoughts..... enjoy!

The boys and I are off all next week for spring break, yay!! I have been emailing myself so many recipes to make over spring break that my gmail started putting them into a junk folder. No joke! Gmail thought I was getting spammed I was sending myself so many emails, lol! We eat rice all the time as a dinner side dish, probably more than we eat potatoes. In fact, the 3 kitchen appliances I use most often are my Presto Salad Shooter, KitchenAid Mixer, and Black and Decker Rice Cooker. We love plain white rice but it gets boring night after night so this Green Chile Rice is a great way to spice it up (don't worry it isn't spicy just flavorful). It would also make a great potluck side dish!

DirectionsCook the rice according to the directions on the package (I cooked mine in my rice cooker of course). In a large mixing bowl combine the sour cream, green chiles, cheese, and salt; stir in the cooked rice. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and pour in the rice mixture. Cover with foil and cook at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
